MacBook Pro problem. Please help!

Hello,

When I tried to open my laptop, the screen was black. I figured because it was taking too long to wake up. So, I pressed a space bar and different keys but it didn't wake up. I tried to press the power button, but all of a sudden it started to make a beeping sound. I tried to restart it, but it keeps beeping and I don't know why. I may have overcharge it for too long and it's causing it. But I'm still trying to figure out what's going on. I don't want to assume that it's broken and all of my stuff are gone. Please help me. I'm really struggling to figure out why it kee

What does "RAM does not pass a data integrity check." means? What is a RAM?

RAM stands for random access memory - the memory that's used in your system. Most of the time if a RAM check fails it's the RAM itself, but once in a while it may be a system problem/failure. If you're lucky it will just be the RAM chips which can be easily replaced at a reasonable cost. I would suggest contacting Apple for more advice especially if the unit is still under warranty. The data on the drive should still be OK. If needed, meaning the system itself has problems, the drive can be taken out and put into an external enclosure and all data should be recoverable.

Good luck.

How much is to replace the RAM chip? For the RAM, does the MacBook Pro randomly stops functioning such as starts to beep out of nowhere or does it involve overcharging it? I'll ask this question to Apple when I contact them later today. Thank you for the help!
